[@elllouise8779]

Ambarino (the snowy part) REALLY would have benefitted from having some kind of small town or ranch there. I know it’s supposed to be lonely-feeling and quiet, but i have just always felt that it was a little TOO quiet. Colter should have been a real town, but maybe with only a couple of things to do there. Wouldn’t have needed to be a big town, just a little general store and a saloon with a hotel/inn. It would have been cool if it was a lawless town too, like Van Horn, as it’s all the way up in the snow and out of the way so they wouldn’t really need law. Just a little community of people. And then some more random encounters, like when you go to Colter for the first time a random event triggers where a snow storm is coming in and everyone is rushing to board up their homes and the stores and stuff. Or one where a pack of wolves run through the town and you have to save the people. Maybe another encounter further into the snow where someone lost and needs you to take them back home or something. Or maybe if you go back soon after chapter 1, you find a small O’driscoll camp where some of the gang members have been left behind to fend for themselves (Colm never really cared about his gang members). I dunno, just some little ideas i had but overall, i think the snowy part could still have that isolated feeling even with a town and a couple more encounters being there.

[@elllouise8779]

@Xanth Miller it would have made that part of the map a lot more enjoyable. I only go up there for one of the treasure maps, the legendary bison (i think it’s the bison?) and the legendary salmon.

[@elllouise8779]

[@terminallumbago6465]

My 5 1. Lemoyne. It’s the most beautiful state imo. Saint Denis is great, the plantation houses, Scarlett Meadows, and Rhodes are imo the most beautiful parts of the map with the rolling hills and red-earth soil. Chapter 3 (far and away my favorite) is centered around here. Clemens Point and Shady Belle are my two favorite camps. I also love how the state feels sleepy, but you always need to have your guard up for things like alligators, Lemoyne Raiders, Night Folk, pedestrians in Saint Denis, etc. I also love how the state feels like it’s in a tug of war, with part of it desperately clinging to the past (the Grays and Braithwaites, the Lemoyne Raiders, the Civil War remnants, etc.) and the other part is leaping into the future (Saint Denis). The Swamps are beautiful, but I prefer not to spend much time there if I can avoid it. 2. New Hanover- This state is also gorgeous, with the rolling plains of the Heartlands, the dense Cumberland Forest, and the hidden mysteries of Roanoke Ridge. There’s a seemingly endless supply of wildlife here. Horseshoe Overlook is also a great camp. Valentine is a fun city to explore, and it’s possibly the most western town in the game. I like the Appalachia feel of Roanoke Ridge, and Butcher’s Creek is very interesting. I like how Van Horn is basically RDR2’s Thieves Landing, but that’s the weakest point for me. 3. West Elizabeth- I really enjoy Big Valley. It’s absolutely breathtaking with the wildflowers. The hunting is absolutely phenomenal here. As much as I love Rhodes, Strawberry is imo the most beautiful town in the game. I don’t really care for Blackwater and the Great Plains as much, but they are crucial to the story in more ways than one. And Tall Trees is an area that has endless amounts of intrigue and mystery. 4. New Austin- There isn’t much to do here in the game, and it’s clearly just fan service for RDR1 lovers like me, but I’m glad they put it in. I find the role reversal between Armadillo and Tumbleweed interesting, and I’m wondering if Rockstar made it that way to be contrarian, or for another reason. I liked seeing Tumbleweed when it was an actual town, and Sheriff Freeman is awesome. I also had a lot of fun raising hell in Armadillo since there’s no law, the townsfolk couldn’t really do much about it, and it was the epilogue so I didn’t care about John’s honor. Ultimately though, there’s not much to do. 5. Ambarino- It’s beautiful but there’s just nothing here. Very few people, not even a town. There are some cool legendary hunts up here, and a few standout missions but that’s it. Grizzlies West (the snowy part) is pretty but quiet, lonely, and depressing and I couldn’t wait to get out of Colter. Grizzlies East (the forested area where the Wapiti Reservation, Hamish’s Cabin, etc. is) is a lot prettier and definitely the best part of the state. It’s definitely gorgeous and has some memorable moments, but there’s just nothing here. And it’s so out of the way from where most of the story takes place I don’t usually like going back there very often.

Ambarino could have been much better, still is my favorite state. I presume that rockstar originally planned to make it the biggest state, its also a shame that tempest rim is unaccesible and unfinished. And fun fact, ambarino is still bigger than you think, since the town where dutch and micah met its called crenshaw hills, and its confirmed to be in the grizzlies.

My favorite states: 1. -West Elizabeth: Has the perfect blend of northwestern and southwestern nature and scenery from the USA. Also has many towns for resources such as blackwater and strawberry. 2. -Ambarino: Crazy scenery, is super good for hunting and is isolated from the rest of the map. Very nice state for someone who loves nature. 3. -New Hanover: While not my favorite state, it is still the best state from an objective standpoint: It has many towns, is the biggest state, has the most diversity in landscape, and is also home to chapter 2 and chapter 6. 4. -Lemoyne: Home to my favorite chapter (Chapter 3), interesting people and towns. Home to the biggest settlement in the game (Saint Denis) and has the best overall Heists in the story. Decent nature and dangerous gangs. 5. -New Austin: Classic Spaghetti Western feel, Cool canyons, red rocks, tall cactus. Super relaxing, just lacks the life and scenery of the other states. (Just realized someone wrote an extremely similar comment as this as 9 days ago, their rankings were the same for everything) Guess my opinion is shared by more than just me Lol

1:50 While they could have done more with the plains Indians. From 1899 The plains Indians had been wiped out so to match the historical point of the game they couldn’t feature the Indians too much without being historically inaccurate. They did the plains Indians well.

[@SpaceMonkeyBoi]

Favorite locations according to my online experience: 1. Ambarino: I love the snow. Basically no other players go there, so its a nice secluded hunting ground. My only gripe is that in online, it rains there instead of snowing. 2. West Elizabeth: The forests are nice in Big Valley. Boars, beavers, cougars, etc. Tall Trees is my favorite camp location and hunting area because I enjoy hunting grizzly bears with poison arrows. Gus is nearby, so I dont have to go to town to sell pelts. Great plains is a nice spot for beginners to camp out and hunt bison. 3. Lemoyne: The swamps are nice. If you have a stew pot in your camp, you can easily hunt crocodiles to get big game meat. Nice fishing spots. St. Denis is the best town so long as the players there are chill. Also has 2 mansions you can break into, though I prefer breaking into Brontes house to get the jewelry. And hide from the law. Scarlett Meadows is a nice place to explore, but good luck finding a panther when you actually need it. 4. New Hanover: The heartlands have two farms you can raid to get meat and cheap pelts, so thats always nice, but I advise that you raid the farm south of the Cumberland Forest so people dont witness it. Valentine is hit or miss. It's either empty and a good spot to sell meat and pelts if you hunt in the Grizzlies, or full of toxic players that kill you on sight. I never cared for Roanoke Ridge. Too much cliffs and often little room to avoid things. But a nice moose spawn up north. 5. New Austin: I really like the desert environment, but good luck heading off the trails. Your horse will die of a heart attack when it touches a pebble. This is also where I've met MOST of the toxic players that use exploits and glitches, and will occasionally boot you too if you defend yourself. Ways that Rockstar could improve the online part of the game: 1. I think they should make similar random events like story mode has. Most random events in online is usually protecting NPCs and ambushes. I've only triggered a bear attack random even once in my 3 years of playing. 2. They should have kept the Murfree Brood and Night Folk in online. Once you get to a certain level, wild animals are the least of your concern, NPCs are gunned down easily, and the only REAL threat in online is players that think the game is Fortnite and kill you repeatedly. They have Skinners in freemode events, but thats about it. Having all the sadistic gangs from story would make the remote areas more challenging, but a lot more rewarding when you clear them. 3. Being able to raid the penitentiary would be nice. In GTA5, before you could just buy a hangar, you would have to jump the fence in the military base to steal a jet. It was challenging, but not impossible. If you even get close to the penitentiary, you die. I dont like how theres a spot on the map that you arent even allowed to go to.

lemoyne is pretty overrated, but the services make it kind of worthwhile

[@SpaceMonkeyBoi]

I would have been fine with Rockstar taking extra time if it meant they could expand the Grizzlies and add Mexico like they originally wanted.

[@LevisH21]

I have the complete opposite opinion. Rockstar shouldn't have included New Austin. that place is mostly empty and seriously plays no role in the story of RDR2. not even in the epilogue. you only have a single mission with Sadie there to capture a bounty. West Elizabeth is a completely different story. Blackwater and Beacher's Hope play an important role in the game. so yeah, New Austin sticks up like a sore thumb. the map is already large enough without New Austin. it almost feels like Rockstar wanted to remake the first game single they made half the map from the original made. the only part missing is obviously Mexico. anyways, Blackwater and New Austin were originally supposed to play a much bigger role in the story and even Arthur could explore the place in early development of the game. but then we have gotten invisible snipers.

[@SpaceMonkeyBoi]

@@LevisH21 as you probably already know, Rockstar intended on keeping Mexico and expanding the northern Grizzlies.

As someone who really enjoyed the hunting, exploring, and scenery aspects of the game, my list is going to be quite different here. I love all areas, but do enjoy some more than others. 5. For me has to be New Austin. It's nice, but the game never got me interested in really exploring it. 4. Lemoyne. I love Saint Denis for it's beauty, and the city is fun. However, I enjoy spending time in the wilderniss much more. The swamps are beautiful, but I don't find them too enjoyable to play in. The Rest of Lemoyne is not that interesting to me. 3. New Hannover. This is probably my most controversial take. Don't get me wrong, I love new hannover. Valentine is easily the best town in the game. The nature here is beautiful, but ultimately I find New Hannover's plains to be relatively empty. 2. Ambarino. I know for most players there isn't much here, but I love this place. I love the mountains, both irl, and here. The scenery is great and there are great hunting ground. There are also many secrets to find and explore. It's just so great. 1. West Elizabeth. Again, I like it for the same reasons as I like Ambarino. I especially like the Northern and Western parts of this state. Like you said, the beautiful valley based on Yosemite, with the flowers and surrounding mountains. Mount Shann, which you can summit. It has the edge over Ambarino because it has a trapper and a town (Strawberry), although it does not have as many secrets to explore. A great place to be, though. I love all areas, but I probably spent the most time in West Elizabeth and Ambarino, followed closely by New Hannover. Love this game.

[@AA-sw5pb]

Ambarino was supposed to be bigger originally the mining town Colter was supposed to be in tempest rim a bit to the east from its current location but at some point it was changed and the entire area of tempest rim was closed off and made inaccessible. Which sucks because it is quite a large portion of that northen part of the map

[@hazardbros2841]

🧢

[@motormouth2472]

I get how Ambarino can get kind of boring, there is very little to do there. But I like to use it as a kind of "getaway" place. When Arthur is conflicted with the downfall of the gang, he can ride up to Ambarino and get away from everything. I usually go up to Lake Isabella, and fish for the Northern Pike, and I used to be able to find Western Bull Moose on the other side of the Lake, but not anymore. The middle portion of Ambarino is also beautiful. Standing on those mountains, you can see the entire map. But yeah, it would have been nice to see more in Ambarino, but I still love the place. I also love that spot of New Hanover Northwest of Annesburg. Another great spot to get away from shit. The fishing is good, and the hunting is nice.

[@calamityarmityle3086]

My idea that wouldve made Colter more Interesting: You know how Breath of the Wild has Terry Town that you build from the ground up? I think Colter should've been exactly like that in RDR2. Like imagine a small town for timbering, like Manzanita Post, up in Ambarino. It could've started with a few lumber jacks/leather workers wanting to make a proper town and with your funding and aid (like the ranching missions from the epilogue), it could eventually turn into a proper small town. And have a good feedback like local businesses such as a gunsmith or general store give you like a half off discount, that way the effort invested in it is actually worth something. I get Ambarino is supposed to be untouched but outside of the white horse I never go to it. Having Colter turn into a town over time would've made it both a remote location but actually give it purpose to go to in my opinion.

I would have preferred to have Ambarino developed more with that Tempest Rim settlement. basically have a small town with people and shops covered in cold environment. New Austin might be nostalgic for RDR1 players but I barely spend any time there. I prefer the isolation and cold snow weather Ambarino over the arid desert of New Austin. Rockstar is crazy. the devs even wanted to make the whole map of RDR1, including Mexico. but they have the blueprints made. this could be useful for a potential remake of RDR1 in the far future. in 2030 maybe we will get a remake.

5. Ambarino has minimal civilization and places to buy provisions and such, great place for hunting but mainly only in the grizzlies. Further west is where you get bombarded with predators such as cougars, which is a big turn-off. As for towns, Annesburg is a gross mining town and isn't worth the stay. Personally, I don't hate Van Horn, it has a hotel and a fence, both of which are fairly rare things in the game and it's a nice small town. 4. West Elizabeth has plenty of nice towns and sights to see, but the terrain is absolutely terrible for riding horses at fast speeds and the winding, rocky roads are bad for horseriding. And don't even get me started on Tall Trees. This place gets on my nerves so much, I feel like I can barely go near Evelyn Miller's camp without having to deal with a pack of wolves or a bear charging at me and throwing me off my horse. There are some big upsides to this state, however. I'm a big fan of the Great Plains, it's a very nice, open space with plenty of bison and wild horses, and Blackwater is a great town to stay. Strawberry is also a nice little place with a hotel and bounties aswell. The only downside with Strawberry are the bridges, which are death traps for accidentally running people over with a horse. 3. New Austin is (in my opinion) an extremely underrated state, it really brings to life the 'wild west' aspect that you would expect from a cowboy game. Even if it is inaccessible until the Epilogue, and a little bit boring in the 'things to do' department, it's filled with fun sights to see and a couple treasure maps to explore. It also has its own whole gang which are very fun bounties to collect at Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed is the ideal spaghetti western town that everyone knows and loves, it's a shame it's not used more in the game. As for Armadillo, well that's not much to say the least. 2. Lemoyne is a great state, it has two major civilization points: Rhodes, an organised little tourist town with plenty of people to meet and sights to see, and Saint Denis, a bustling city with every service imaginable such as the theatre and the tailor. Saint Denis is a nice place to go for a little bit, but staying there for too long can take away the wild feel of the game that you get from the landscape. Its tight roads also provide the danger of hitting people with your horse. The only big downside to this state is the swamps. The swamps are arguably the worst parts of the game, alligators hiding in bushes and bucking you off your horse, the many exotic birds you are required to hunt in order to complete the Algernon Wasp missions, and the small town of Lagras which is not a sight to behold. Overall, it's a very nice state indeed. 1. New Hanover is where pretty much all the action is, it's where you're most familiar with because of Chapter 2, it's where you start off in Valentine (pretty much the best town in the game) and many, many secrets and spots of interest. It's stuffed full of stranger missions, collectibles, secrets and random encounters. It's a beautiful state with many rocky parts which don't translate onto the road, making for an easy, leisurely ride around the map. It has plenty of great places to hunt, like the Heartlands and Cumberland Forest. It's also got plenty of train stations that include fun games to kill time while awaiting a train. Personally, I don't hate Van Horn either, it has a hotel and a fence, both of which are fairly rare things in the game and it's a nice small town. Overall, New Hanover is my number one state.

Ambarino should have been split into two between the west and east that appears to be inexplicably in the autumn, maybe if it would be freed from being arbitrarily morphed then there could have been more things there. Even the weirdly tight and specific trails the gps suggests you, seems to me like a hint that it wasn’t really polished. The same for the place between Hanover and Lemoyne. Roanoke also should have been a separate state but that’s a logic flaw.

Honestly im so sad that new austin is so underutilized in rdr2. It could have been a perfect dlc but yeah its just meh

[@hitnammlg]

Can you guys rank your favorite missions in RDR2 main story?

[@davidian2.024]

The specific areas - my favourite is Scarlet Meadows astonishing beauty, unbelievable graphics. The tobacco fields of the Gray’s mansion and the ancient trees lining the lane to Braithwaite Manor. 2. Big Valley. Hunting, plenty of space to not whack your horse into a tree attempting to shoot squirrels etc 3. Tall trees/ west Elizabeth the area where it merges into new Austin beautiful vistas beautiful colours 4. Ambarino mountains breathtaking views. 5. The heartlands herds of bison and twin stacks pass .

[@WarriorSoulST]

I love these videos keep it up guys.👍👍👍

[@franciscoteixeira5454]

My: 5- new austin 4- West Elizabeth 3- Lemoyne 2- Ambarino 1- New Hannover.

[@EchelonDnB]

UK player here - can someone tell me what the dangly vegetation that seems to be in every single tree in Lemoyne? mI've seen it in films - just curious what it is?

[@mmatip123]

Lemonyne is the best because you get a beautiful little western town in Rhodes the only city in the game the most diverse animal life because of the swamp the most diverse interactions because of the city and the southern characters and the manors

[@aiurgoizueta9569]

love this videos ;)

[@ANONYMOUSCODEC718]

My 1 ambarino because you shoot micha there

[@jackgathorne-hardy6894]

I would go New Austin, Ambrino ( if it was just east ambrino than this would be higher), West Elizabeth, Leymone then new Hanover, leymone feels so much more alive than any other of the states- like a real 19th century US state

[@Qaanbob.]

Wait you can make Arthur left handed

[@knightfall03]

i feel like new austin should be more populated, compared to the main areas of the game, i always felt lifeless and as if my game was bugged and not spawning in npc's, random events, etc

[@LevisH21]

New Austin shouldn't have been part of the game, period. it seriously plays no role to overall story. I think Rockstar had plans for it at the starting point of game development but they had to scrap those ideas because it didn't make sense anymore. I just feel sorry for the poor workers that had to spend hours creating this part of the game. New Austin is useless. at least West Elizabeth makes sense to be part of the game because of Blackwater and Beacher's Hope.

[@Zack_410]

I like the lawlessness wild west feel of it. Reminds me of the Dollars trilogy a lot.

[@darkyboi5705]

new hanover is only first on my book cuz of Emerald ranch

[@FrankieTeardrop1998]

Lemoyne is my favourite. I just really love the bayou. New Hanover is a close second.

[@BencePribelszki]

I love all the states equally, all beautiful in their own way❤

[@Dkgdkvk]

It think best state is New Austin.İt feels like wild west.İt isn't like other states.Other state feels Wild East .And ıt might be strange,actually ı don't like New Hannover.Cornwall,Murfree broods...And its cities not like city,like a fabric.This is my best to worse list: 1.New Austin 2.West Elizabeth 3.Lemoyne 4.Ambarino 5.New Hanover

[@sully_iscool1399]

You should’ve included guarma, not as a state but as like a bonus rank.

[@hitmancar6950]

They should have put a town in tempest rim and made it accesible

[@IEdonmili]

How do you make Arthur left handed? I’ve never seen that that’s cool

[@someguyik]

Ambarino does not have a single shop. Makes zero sense. At least they could have put the shop that's at Wallace station at Bacchus Station. Feels like they had a lot of stuff planned for Ambarino, but decided to cut everything and just focus on the middle chapters of the game.

[@domenicevangelista5478]

1. New Hanover 2. West Elizabeth 3. Lemoyne 4. Ambarino 5. New Austin

[@Jorja_47]

colter should do had a town near it or something

[@GooseWinks]

5. new Austin Great concept but very empty 4. ambarino Extremely beautiful but not a lot . But i still love it 3. New Hanover Great, but not perfect 2. West Elizabeth Like ambarino and new Hanover had a baby 1. Lemoyne Simply excellent

[@Synpathetix]

If I’m honest even though there’s little to do, I think new Austin should’ve been ranked above lemoyne in my honest opinion. It’s the most classic cowboy area there is. I’ve always thought Saint Denis/bayou nwa is so overrated in this game and I actually spend the least amount of time in those areas.

[@kuchom]

Kind of unrelated but the fact that they're called states its so weird, like I think county would be more fitting mostly for their size because when I hear state I think of something massive, the size of an European country almost.

[@djungelskogmemes]

its bigger to the characters than us, for us 2 minutes is 1 hour for the characters

[@Kira-pv4xq]

I honestly like Ambarino, shootouts there are really cool and has a very desolate atmosphere.

[@drunkpepsican5849]

Personally I’ll have to disagree… black water is 10/10

[@Cyanduck485]

My personal ranking 1 west Elizabeth 2 new Austin 3 new Hanover 4 lemoyne 5 ambarino

[@Cheez_Doodlezz]

Heres mine 5 Ambarino i only come here for Scenery and Arthurs Grave 4 West Elizabeth I Love Hunting in the Plains and its just Meh 3 Lemonye i have flashbacks here but i love/Hate Saint Denis 2 New Hanover Best Hunting Place for me Expect the forest area 1 New Austin Loneliness

[@basic_leigh]

You guys are extremely interesting! How about your favorite side characters or favorite antagonists?

[@David_Gonzalez1]

Ranking RDR2 missions

[@andrewlowden322]

nice and just FYI (it was said New Autin is the texas-looking area) Hennigans Stead = Texas, Thieves landing = east texas and the terrain changes to west TX as you go west Cholla Springs = Sonoran Desert in Southern AZ (also, Cholla is pronounced CHOY-uh) and where I am from (Tucson) Rio Bravo = Northern NM, area around Santa Fe and the high desert Gaptooth Ridge = CA, Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree National Monument area

[@Dj_Toenail]

Agree with Ethan s tier list, but that place in West Elizabeth that jason s mentions, near that o Driscoll's camp where is just vegetation is indeed nice but not enough to put west Elizabeth over lemoyne, new Hanover is just too good man, has everything basically, valentine s cool old place to chill in the vibes of an outlaw than the rest that are civilized, emerald ranch with the homie fence where you can also deliver stolen wagons, the only place you can, has 2 other towns(Annesburg which tbh is boring for me but just personal taste, then Van horn which idk if is rlly a town but in my book it can be called a town, and if you rlly want, you could put But cher s creek also as a town, just a bunch of crazy hillbillies you can get away with crimes or help them in stranger mission), if you stretch it out you can say it even has the Fence for Stolen horses but that is in Lemoyne🤓🤓🤓 but is so close to the border with New Hanover that is basically or in my book a part of New Hanover, like if you were to do an only hang out in New Hanover out of preference or doing a challenge to only play in there and stealing horses from there, is so close to the horse Fence that is a part of it which makes it a great state, it also has the best camp in the game Horsheoe Overlook and as an end bonus is situed in the middle of the playable area so you would always spend time in it when doing various tasks, even just going through it, is just perfect, also has opening to the Iron Flat lake if you are in the vibe of taking a boat and fishing, can also stole one from Annesburg lol

[@Lenny_mah_boah]

My ranking 1. New Hanover 2. Lemoyne 3. Ambarino 4. West Elizabeth 5. New Austin

[@rhyswerner1748]

I like ambarino more than new Austin. The orangey colour is painfully bleak. Not to mention that both of these towns don’t have much to do. Ambarino is scenic and beautiful. But new Austin imo loooks absolutely awful

[@ThoseTwoPeople999]

my ratings from worst to best 6 being worst and 1 being best 6. Mexico (can't even go there) 5. Ambarino (can't do anything there) 4. New Austin (the towns suck having only general stores and bars) 3. West Elizabeth (No Gun stores and they have a wanna-be saint Denis) 2. New Hangover (this is a pretty valid place but they do not have every available shop possible) 1. Lemoyne (they have Saint-Denis and they have alligators and a wide range of things to do) fight me

[@hanashbinasif2586]

For me it’s 1: new Hanover 2 : west Elizabeth 3: lemoyne 4 : new Austin 5 : ambarino

[@Alphae21]
